SHARK ATTACK

"Shark Attack" brings the intensity and aggression of nu-metal, the melodicism and driving force of instrumental progressive metal, and the full sonic power of the tuba to bear in this barn-burner for your next recital program!

EVENT HORIZON

FOR TROMBONE, CIMBASSO (OR BASS TROMBONE/TUBA), AND FIXED MEDIA (HEAVY METAL BAND)

Event Horizon is a musical imagining of humans crossing the event horizon of a black hole and colonizing an uninhabited world far beyond Earth. This new world becomes the next frontier for humankind: the settlement of a new dimension of the universe. Equal parts mysterious, crushingly heavy, strangely groovy, and highly virtuosic, Event Horizon is sure to spark the imaginations of audiences everywhere.

This work was commissioned by the Loud and Louder duo: Jarrod Williams and Stephen Ivany.
